The Catholic parish church of St. John and Vitus in Horn, Gaienhofen, is an impressive baroque hall church that dates back to a Romanesque predecessor church. It is located on a hill on the eastern edge of the village and is visible from afar. The church is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and the holy martyr Vitus.The church was extensively rebuilt in 1717 under the Prince-Bishop of Constance, Johann Franz Schenk von Stauffenberg, and was given its current baroque appearance. The stepped gable tower was built around 1553 and restored in 16731. The interior of the church contains valuable works of art, including two altarpieces from 1500, painted by Matthäus Gutrecht.
